An Apocalyptic Need
“The stench of black, oily magic still clung to the air, leaving behind a greasy haze that touched his skin with cold fingers as he passed through.
Grimm hurried down the stairwell both Cari and the shadow had emerged from. The bottom of the stairs was murky, a wispy fog still clinging to the dusty floor. His nose twitched under the scent of blood and his stomach twisted with dread.
Cari’s blood…Carrie’s fear…permeated the space, along with an evil the likes of which he hadn’t faced since they’d... vanquished Edwige and her spawn, Joris.
Grimm shuddered under the thought and forced himself to move forward. The fire that had once flared huge and hot, judging by the amount of ash in the grate, consisted merely of gray embers, glowing softly in the murky black. The pulsing glow should have been a soothing sight, except that it illuminated just enough of the large stone altar before it to turn Grimm’s belly to acid.
Blood coated the edges of the altar and shone in a black pool on the floor beneath it.MoreLess
